To reduce costs, Ford began installing more of Shelby's unique components directly at the San Jose assembly line before the cars were shipped to LA for final finishing. For example, the 428 big-block engines for the GT500 and the special exhaust systems were built-in. However, the remaining interior, fiberglass, and specific trim components were still finished by hand at the Shelby Facility.

This is a different process used in 1967 versus 1969 when Shelby Automotive contracted with AO Smith to do the mods.

I would suggest Vic Yarberry he has the correct connectors. You can contact Vic at his Cougarsunlimited website.

Thank you all for the responses... can I ask where you've been able to find them? I have seen a set or 2 on Ebay here and there?   Scott

That's a pretty great improvement if you have a 4 speed car that needs one.

LOL if you fall for that one you must not be the sharpest tool in the shed.

That shock will not fit a 1967 Falcon. It has the Mustang / Cougar style top mount. The 1967 Falcon used a different mounting system.

Nice work Pete!

There is a shorter pickup truck tail shaft but so far as I know Mustangs / Cougars and full size Ford products / Mercurys used the same length tail shaft and case.

I've used them and they are OK. I now have originals rebuilt by Dan at Chockostang and they are fine too but a little cheaper and better.

I envy Dave for being there and taking all those great photos. Rest in Peace sir. You deserve it.

Indeed it is mysterious (to me) why the post exists. Maybe the guy is just having a bad day.

22 inch?

Likely so with that date stamp. 24" was 1968 - 70.

I'm getting old. Some day I will die. With me all the information I know will go away when I die. I don't mind sharing that information if it helps anyone. It is worth what anyone pays for it.

Hard to believe that Mecum would even offer a car like that for auction.. Very unscrupulous if you ask me. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

They take any car that pays their price. Occasionally they do the right thing but those times are few and far between.

I think the 68's are Bendix single piston while the 1965 - 1967 Shelbys were the Kelsey Hayes 4 piston front brakes.
